Description Albert Astals Cid 2015-01-17 11:07:10 UTC
See the attached screenshot:
 * 3 pixels from top to the "attention line"
 * 2 pixels from the "attention line" to the icon
 * 6 pixels from the icon to the bottom
 * 2 pixels from the "attention line" to the top of the "d"
 * 7 pixels from the bottom of the "g" to the bottom

Feels like the icon text could go at least 1, maybe 2 pixels to the bottom.

There is a known issue in the sense that we use the same frame margin at the top and the bottom; the top margin has a shadow so visually it's smaller than it really is.

When we used the fixedMargins for sides where we weren't showing a border everything looked too far down, we may need an extra size hint.

tough for the ones in the taskbar, by tweaking the theme it can be adjusted in any way

Themes, especially in the task manager, have been adjusted multiple times since this report was made. Especially 2d1a3364b8c44f4624d7bee18a06a256f967a238. 

Looking at it now, mine differs from the screenshot and looks absolutely spot-on.

I also haven't seen much other feedback on this issue in the past few years.
